Chapter 6

"WAKE UP!"

Bam! A heavy weight slams into Julian. With a yell he flings himself out of bed, flailing his arms. His limbs make contact. There is a shout of surprise and a thud as Julian's attacker stumbles to the hardwood floor. Shuffling across the bed, still tangled in his down comforter, Julian peeks over the tall four poster bed. Noah sits on the ground holding is forehead as he glares up at the one who had wacked him.

"What the hell was that for?" Julian's voice is raspy as his vision is still coming around.

Noah whines in response, "Emery sent one of the maids in and she came to get me because she couldn't get you up."

"Maybe that's everyone's hint to leave me alone." Despite the protest and struggle, he still slides out of bed. He sticks his hand out to help the smaller omega up.

When on his feet, Noah wastes no time. He whisks through the room grabbing clothes and hygiene essentials. Julian is left watching him as he goes through his friends things. When done, he grabs the tall ginger and pushes him into a vanity chair in the bathroom.

"No time to waste," He says as he starts to brush out his friends hair.

After a long effort of trying to get hos friend ready despite his complaints, Julian's was up and dressed for the day. All he wants to do is wrap himself up in his blankets and never leave the comfort of the spacious, luxurious room he had been assigned. This pack house is definitely one fit for a king. And while he  is here, Julian plans to make the best of it.

As they walk through the mostly empty halls, Noah fidgets with his fingers and avoids Julian's eyes. When nudge by his friend and given a raised brow he finally caves. "I have to go back to my pack today. It's a days travel at least and an emergency popped up a couple days ago along the Fern Lake border."

"Oh."

"I wish I could stay, but I'm the Luna of the Heartford pack, my pack. I have a responsibility to them as well and right now they really need me and if they need me it's very important," he explains as they take slower steps. "I didn't say anything before because I thought they would allow you to do your probation in my pack."

There's not much Julian can do but sigh. He wraps his arm around his friends shoulder as they walk on. "It's okay. It's your job."

"I said I wouldn't leave you again." He leans into Julian as his confliction takes over him.

"And you're not." He rubs Noah's shoulder. "Because you'll be back."

They turn down the hall that ends with an intrakit wood carved double door. A sign above the door indicates that inside is the omega common room. Just omega's. Two guards stand in the hall. Betas. They don't smell pheromones as well as alphas and omegas, so they do not have aw much of a reaction even when not trained. Lucky bastards don't have a heat or a rut either like the other two genders.
